Just finished listening to this. I wasn’t listening closely, but the two things that stood out to me was….1. Increased range coming early next year 2. R2 products were described by RJ as “goosebump inducing”. I am really cited about the range improvement...
I saw this LE R1S being sold on Cars and Bids. https://carsandbids.com/auctions/KYdY7YXP/2022-rivian-r1s-launch-edition
From what the seller, a current Rivian R1T owner, has posted about why he is selling, Rivian offered him a LE R1S, even though he didn’t have a R1S reservation. He asked for...
After reading the new delivery date estimates thread, it seems pretty clear that Rivian is prioritizing R1Ts. I think they are doing this for two reasons. 1. To hit the 25k goal this year. 2. To start filling post Mar 2022 R1T orders next year to make higher margins. As a Launch Edition...
Hey my H-Town peeps! It’s time for another meet up for preorder holders and owners. Unfortunately, I still don’t have my R1S, but I am hopeful that my delivery will be soon. It has been awesome seeing preorder holders who have been waiting for years to finally get their SUV In the past couple...
It looks there is movement in Texas to determine how to use the infrastructure money to build charging stations across the state. I haven’t read the entire draft plan, but I did see that contracts are to be awarded January 2023...
The Houston area was under a heat advisory yesterday and temps got to 100 with feel like temps of well over 100. I was shocked when my power went out in the afternoon. I got my phone to go online and report the outage and got the response below. The power company decided to intentionally turn...
Hey my H-town peeps! We had a great first meet up a few months ago. Three R1T owners came out and gave most of us our first look in person of a R1T. Thanks again to @jimaws, @Dreamwater, and @Voronbrg. I am hoping that we get more trucks out this time since there have been a lot more...
Jim Farley wants to move to direct sales like Tesla and Rivian. The important word is “wants”. I assume the dealerships will have something to say about that. I don’t see it happening, but it would be a good move in the interest of customers...
UPDATED FOLLOWING FIRESIDE CHAT:
Here are my notes. I don’t think there was very much new information. I was surprised that RJ said that they are currently building four vehicles this year. Apparently, they are building two different sizes of the EDV, both the 500 and 700. I was under the...
Thanks to @Gshenderson for bringing up this Texas government contract. See link below. Click on projects awarded and you will find that Retail EV Charging North/Central/South LLC won a lot of the stations. I looked up the addresses for this group and they are Bucee’s locations. For those who...

Now that deliveries are taking place, let’s start gathering to build a community of Rivian enthusiasts in the Houston area. I know that most of us haven’t seen a Rivian with our own eyes yet. The great news is that there is an owner in the area who is gracious enough to bring their truck to...
I know that camp kitchens have not being delivered yet, but wanted to start a thread for members to share their favorite camping recipes since kitchens will be delivered s00n. Feel free to share your favorite packaged meals too. Let’s get some good recipes. Maybe Rivian can release a camp...
Here are the things that I expected Rivian to have communicated by now. What else am I missing?
1. Release the R1S manual. (I thought they were already delivering the R1S, so where is the manual?)
2. Provide a schedule of test drive cities and dates for this year.
3. Provide a list of...
It’s finally happening! Congrats @AdamL and @godfodder0901 and everyone else getting their trucks next week. Now that deliveries are finally starting for customers, I think we should start a discussion about creating a delivery day checklist. There are plenty of checklists already for the...
